I know these are both popular and high quality yeasts.
I use 1056 generally because that is what my LHBS carries. I just rebrewed a batch I usually do with 1056 with WLP001 and the fermentation looks totally different. The krausen and blowoff was much more tame. It fermented steady for about double as long as 1056 does. Lastly, on day 16 in the fermentor it still has quite a bit of foam. 1056 drops clear for me easily by 10 days.
Given all the potential variables that can affect fermentation and the fact that I've only used it once I'm in no position to draw conclusions (not to mention the fact that I haven't tasted it yet).
I'm curious if others have noticed different fermentation behavior in the two and if the results differ much even though they came from the same initial strain. Thanks!
